Thanks for the advice.
I was just positing a question that I'm sure a lot of people might ask. Especially re: the health risks. I would imagine there are quite a few classes of people whose doctors would not recommend such a flight.
I absolutely would not book a flight that involved spending 17 hours in economy class. But maybe there are plenty who will. Good for them and good for Qantas.
